The 1894-S dime is a proof only issue. Meaning the 1894-S dime is not meant for circulation. I highly doubt anybody would find one digging in a garden.

[realazduffman]

"I'd like to get $400, 000"
"I'd like Rebecca to marry me. Lets see who get luckier"

[KVDC]

If NGC couldn't even certify that this coin was the real thing, then Rick was smart enough not to buy it. A coin that expensive has to be certified by NGC or PCGS, otherwise it can easily be a fake.

[izzywavvy]

I’ve been watching to many of these and I’ve came to the realization that every old coin is one of the rarest coins out there

[cortlandmass]

Idk why but his smile throughout the video was strange. Kinda seemed like he knew something wasn’t right

[Recoil]

Poor guy. You can hear the enormous let-down when he says "ok".

[TheBaldCroatian]

I know it's worth 25k, best I can do is a $50 gift certificate to McDonald's and a cab ride with Chum.

[Kaynos]

It's even more rare it's an 189 AD Dime !

[honorewillens]

At 2:17 I think I can see a faded 4 but I’m not sure

[doglips]

She scrubbed it with a Scotchbrite pad because we didn't have any gravel...

[seanyager]

"I wish it was real." ... "Me too."
Lol I thought that guy was gonna have a panic attack right then and there. Look at how upset he is in the end interview..

[northerniltree]

Yah, my wife cleaned it with an oxyacetylene torch.

[armybeef]

2:16


I can see 1894 perfectly fine.

[darykinnaman]

When you find a coin and it looks rare, the first thing you should do is scrub it with sandpaper. Please, just leave it in the ground.

[kingjames]

"I have this item I'd like to sell."
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!"

[alanlamando]

Coins are struck, not printed and why did the seller think that Mr. Harrison would buy a coin that was rejected by NGC?

[beezewax]

Being a coin collector, I know what that feels like getting your hopes up. 😭

[bobsacamano]

Deepest scratches just happened to be where the 4 should be.

[williamwilson]

I have 1000 silver dimes so just went through them...two Barber heads, but 1906 with no mint mark (worn off) and 1911 D.

[dennispaulsen]

You do not "Print" coins. You "Mint" or "Strike" coins.
